17. Delta Labs Level 2B

Doom3 Main | Previous: Delta Labs Level 2A | Next: Delta Labs Level 3

One Way Trips And Branches

Dropping through the hole at the end of the Ventilation Duct into the Specimen Research Lab is a one way trip. There is a way to get there again but then you can't finish the level.
In the Specimen Research Lab, when you jump the boxes in the corridor and duck under the flames to Research Control, a vent falls off behind you blocking your path back to Dr Michaels - this is a one way trip. There is a way to get there again but you can't finish the level.
Clicking to exit Delta Labs Level 2B and transfering to Delta Labs Level 3 is a one way trip.

Teleporter Chamber

Read the Intro: Delta Labs Level 2B as the level loads.
You still have the mission Reach The Main Portal.
You can see across the big chamber to where you teleported from in the previous level. You can't get back over there.
Note if you return to this room later in the game you will trigger an Imp (1) on the teleporter pad.
Exit the chamber through the door to Research Entrance.

Research Entrance

There is an access door around to the left that is inaccessible until you find the access card for it.
Find a Small Health (1) near a body as a vent blows off the wall.
Go up the steps and trigger a Flaming Zombie (1).
Straight ahead you can see dangling wires, flames and a door beyond. In the previous level you saw the same sight from the other side of that door.
Go right and collect 1 Small Shells (1). You can duck into a tiny room with flames and collect a Combat Armour (1) but you will take much damage so it doesn't seem worth the effort.
Open the door to Teleportation Observation.

Teleportation Observation

On the right is a headless Zombie (2) who gets up from a bench.
Find the BRD Access Card on some seats near where the zombie was sitting.
Return to Research Entrance.

Research Entrance

Take out the two Imps (2-3) that appear, one from the room and one from the back wall that lowers.
Find 3 Armour Shards (1-3), 1 Large Clips (1) and 1 Large Health (1) in the back alcove.
Head back to the previously locked access door. Scan your BRD Access Card and the panel reads "Access granted. Restricted area unlocked. Security alarm disabled. Work safe".
Open the door and enter Data Control Terminal.

Data Control Terminal

Follow the hallway and trigger a Commando Zombie (3) and a Chaingun Zombie (4). Retrieve the Chain Gun (1).
See a network of computers completely submerged in liquid, sealed off behind glass.
The door on the left to Storage 2 is currently disabled, you'll fix that problem now.
Go up the steps, ignoring the door in front for a moment and over to the computers on the left. One console reads "Supply storage area. Unlock storage area. Locked". Click it to unlock Storage 2.
Now enter the Storage 2 door to Service Area - see below.
Take the next door to Maintenance Corridor - see below.

Service Area

Kill the Zombie (5) to the right.
To the left is 1 Large Rockets (1).
To the right is 1 Emergency Medical Station (1) with 100 Health and a Combat Armour (2).
Exit back to Data Control Terminal.

Maintenance Corridor

Edge in until you hear Betruger's evil laughs and some thumps. Kill the Commando Zombie (6) and Zombie (7) that approach, then the teleporting Imp (4).
Go around the corner and down the steps, past the storage locker and collect Francis R. Erikson's PDA (1) sitting on a desk. It contains 2 Emails (1-2).
You also get a Security Clearance Update to Central Access. This will get you past the next door.
The email titled Locker code change request reveals that the code to Storage Locker 103 is 259.
The email titled Martian Buddy Cabinet reveals that there there is a Martian Buddy Cabinet somewhere in this level - woohoo!
Step up to Storage Locker 103 and enter code 259. Collect 2 Small Plasma Cells (1-2), 2 Small Shells (2-3) and 1 Large Health (2).
Now go back up the steps and follow the path around to a security door. By virtue of your new Central Access clearance, click the door panel to get "Access granted".
Open the door to Central Processing [1].

Central Processing [1]

An Imp (5) leaps in from the left and 2 Commando Zombies (8-9) argue the toss with you.
A Zombie (10) trudges in from the left.
See an upstairs section above you - that is Central Processing [2]. You will get there at the end of the level.
Behind the computers to the left are 2 Small Clips (1-2) and 1 Large Health (3).
On the right side of the room is 1 Combat Armour (3) by a locked laptop.
Hear some strange gurgling noised upstairs. That my friend is the sound of an archvile, who you haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting. That pleasure is only a couple of rooms away.
Head down the steps into Common Area Access.

Common Area Access

Go around the corner. There's an alcove on the right. Move into it and hear a crash.
There's are 3 bodies lying near the next corner near blood spattered walls.
I suggest you select your rocket launcher at this juncture and then move into the Common Area.

Common Area

The lights go out. Upstairs see some commando zombies running. Hear Betruger's evil laugh as Doom 3's first Archvile teleports in upstairs.
The archvile has a nasty modus operandi. It summons enemies at specific teleporter points. The teleporting points and the type of enemies it can summon are specified for each archvile. Basically, he's bbbbad! To round off his abilities, the archvile can launch long range fire attacks you. He is no pussy up close either and can do you severe claw damage. My recommendation - 2 rockets right in his face or if it teleports in and you are on the spot, chainsaw it from its ass to it's face.
Rocket the Archvile (1) back the hell it came from.
To the left of the drinks machines is an Adrenaline (1) and 1 Large Health (4) lying by a body.
Go right into Research Lab Corridor.

Research Lab Corridor

Walk toward a burst steam pipe. An Imp (6) appears beyond the pipe.
Go left at the crossroads and start a clockwise circuit of the room.
There are dangling wires blocking your way to the door to Specimen Research Lab - you'll get there another way.
Find 1 Large Health (5) and 4 Armour Shards (4-7) on the floor near a disabled door that leads to nowhere.
Continue around and back to the crossroads and then left toward the next door. A Commando Zombie (11) comes through the door and attacks.

Meet and talk to Dr Michaels who is examining a dead imp specimen. He is looking at a Medical Scanner "Internal Comparison Chart". Dr Michaels reveals that in the next room, the 2 storage lockers take code 624.

There's an Emergency Medical Station (2) with 100 Health on the wall.

At Storage Cabinet 217 enter 624 and collect 1 BFG Cells (1), 1 Grenades (1) and 1 Combat Armour (5).

Around the corner duck under the flames as a vent falls off behind you blocking your path back to Dr Michaels - this is a one way trip.
Enter Research Control.

Research Control

Turn the corner and kill the Imp (8) out in the main room.

Approach stasis chamber 1 and download the Email (3) titled Specimen 197 -Imp. The imp inside tries to attack you!

Approach the back left door. Get assigned the objective Second Floor Access. You will open this door from the other side later in the level.
Open the back right door to Stasis Control Junction.

Stasis Control Junction

As you walk in, you hear the voice of Jacob Stemmons "Hello, is anyone there? Hello, is someone up there? Please unlock the service hatch. Hello I'm trapped down here. Please help me. If anyone can hear me, please get me out". Don't rush, sad to relate there is nothing you can do for poor Jacob, it's all scripted.

Stasis Transfer [1]

Kill the Imp (11) that attacks.
Go right and down the stairs to the "Chamber Deployment Station". If you click "Activate conveyor" then an imp in a chamber will rise up and the chamber will follow the yellow track winding to the end of the section and then disappear into the wall. Another imp chamber rises and the cycle repeats. This seems to be an ingenious way to add light to this very dark section - the chamber is brightly lit.
Start a right wall hug of the area, always staying near the right wall.
Kill an Imp (12) guarding 2 Large Clips (3-4).
Further on kill another Imp (13) near 2 Small Plasma Cells (3-4).

If you land on the line of computers below you won't take any damage. This is a way to get back to the first half of the level. Unfortunately when you retrace your steps you get blocked in the Specimen Research Lab by the metal panel that won't let you through to Research Control.
